FREE - TAKE ONE! PLEASE RECYCLE! isc JCC STUDENT NEWSPAPER \Out of the Past, Shooting for the Future' VOLUME 28 ISSUE NO. STUDENT RESOURCE FEE RAISED; $48 TO $85 by Brian Becker CANNON STAFF WRITER An increase in the student resource fee for the spring was approved in a special Student Government Association (SGA) full-senate meeting on November 19th. This increase is to cover the mistakes in budgets as THE CANNON reported on in the October issue. As a result, the full-time student resource fee for the spring will be $85, up from the $48 charge in the fall. The part-time student resource fee was set at a $25 flat fee, change from the $4 per credit hour this fall. These raises in the student resource fee were approved in order to avoid cuts in athletics, SGA and Social Cultural Committee (SCC) programs. SGA was faced with the choice of setting a fee high enough to cover the mistakes from the fall or shaving $54,936 from SGA, SCC and Athletic Board of Control (ABC). Rebecca Small-Kellogg, Director of Student Activities, submitted example cuts totalling only $20,000. The cuts included; $8,296 from ABC which would have eliminated baseball and lacrosse, $8,296 from SCC which would cancel all tournaments, the Semi-Annual Club Volleyball Challenge, Spring Fest, two comedians, and Spirit Week. Also, $8,296 would be cut from SGA by eliminating the annual SGA Awards Banquet, the spring leadership conference, and one-eigth of all student media budgets, including yearbook and the student newspaper. By charging the increase in the spring, these budgets will revert back to their original status and the proposed cuts would not take place. The increase in the student resource fee for the spring is to make up for what was not charged in the fall and is not an actual increase for the 1992-1993 academic year. THE CANNON, with \Traitor to the Cause\ written about Mr. Seklecki and other evidence found during JCC student's crime scence Investigations.

Students spent two hours combing a cult-kidnapping, rape/attempted murder crime scene scenerio room at Stone Row Inn, Madison Barracks in Sacketts Harbor. The classes were divided into teams of four or five students. Each team entered the assigned room with only the knowledge of the alledged victim's complaint. Each team recovered fingerprints and other physical evidence., drew scale sketches of the area, and photographed everything. When they were finished, they collated all of their finding into a detailed investigation report. Students found evidence such as hair, bullets, blood stains, paraphanalia and drugs which were simulated by Mr. Seklecki with with items from his kitchen. \You should know that there are three suspects and you should have found three different types of ammunition at the scene so your reports should reflect that we are looking for three armed and dangerous suspects.\ Mr. Seklecki stated to his class after collecting the students final reports.,\For those of you taking Investigations #2 in the spring, we will be doing more of these scenarios with added aspects such as surveilence . .. we will be using real suspects next time.\ by Gidget Rafus CANNON STAFF WRITER A year ago, Thierry Conty walked the campus of JCC in the hopes of continuing his education.
